Description
The "get_pipe()" function (drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c) in the Linux Kernel before version 4.14.8, 4.9.71, and 4.4.114 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a specially crafted USB over IP packet.
Affected
Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.
